Clementine Cuties are $3.99 for a 2-pound bag at Nob Hill in Salinas, California reposted by Ruth Paget

My weekly digital ad from Raley’s Nob Hill in Salinas, California calls what I call clementines in French “Mandarins.”

The Cuties brand mandarins are a good deal for all the Vitamin C, an antioxidant, in them.

The mandarins are on sale to Raley’s Nob Hill members for $3.99 for a 2-pound bag.

You can sign up to be a store member online or in the store.

A nice and inexpensive winter salad can be made with the following ingredients:

-mandarins

-apples

-pears

-bananas

-raisins that have been rehydrated in hot water or tea

-shredded coconut (optional)

-lemon juice

I call this salad a cold fighter.
